== Abstract ==

In the next decades, road transport will undergo a deep transformation with the advent of Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs), which are about to drastically change the way we commute. CAVs promise to increase productivity and comfort and to facilitate a greater inclusion in mobility of specific user groups, which may eventually lead to increased travel demand. Together, CAVs will enable the full potential of self-driving technology and they will completely merge over time. The complexity of transportation systems is high and therefore, efficient tools for the assessment of this disruptive change are important. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the behavior of automation and/or connectivity in vehicles under realistic traffic conditions and provide preliminary indicative results aiming to assess the efficiency of the corresponding technologies in terms of traffic congestions and network capacity. In the present work, the case-study of the ring road of Antwerp was used along with traffic demand generated based on real traffic counts. Preliminary results show that, ceteris paribus, automation alone is less probable to have positive impacts on traffic conditions. The safety constraints that AVs will be designed to fulfill are in fact likely to generate vehicle which are as cautious (if not more cautious), than human drivers. In this picture, the significant step ahead can be brought by connectivity. Vehicles able to communicate in a seamless and secure way can theoretically see an effective reduction in time headways and reaction time with a consequent positive effect on network capacity and thus road congestion until the traffic demand stays constant. This effect is made more evident as their penetration rate over the entire network increases. Preliminary results presented in this paper seem to confirm the effectiveness of the strategy put forward by the European Commission to consider connectivity, cooperation and automation as deeply intertwined aspects of the future transformation in the transportation sector.
